Thanks for this great report on a unique culture. As someone who works with the Tarahumara I can add that their sense of privacy, exists for a reason. They have survived on the an instinct of self preservation, and their ability to live in such a remote and difficult place. Running makes it easier to get from place to place in a part of the world without roadshttp://oneheartworld-wide.org/
